How To Make red velvet cream cheese brownies

• 
  Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350 and grease or spray with no stick spray a 9"x13" baking pan. If you want a thicker brownie, use a 9"x 9" pan.
• 
  Step 2
  In a bowl, combine cake mix, egg, oil, and melted butter. Stir to blend. The mixture will be slightly lumpy, and that's how you want it.
• 
  Step 3
  Now, fold in crunched-up Oreo cookies. I used the Oreo red velvet cookies, but the regular chocolate ones work just fine. Also, you can amp it up with double stuff!
• 
  Step 4
  Spread batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
• 
  Step 5
  In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla. Then beat with a mixer until creamy smooth.
• 
  Step 6
  Now you can dollop the cream cheese mixture over the top of the brownie layer.
• 
  Step 7
  Using a butter knife, swirl the cream cheese into the red velvet layer, being careful not to go deep into the red velvet layer. You just want the cream cheese layer to be on the surface of the brownie.
• 
  Step 8
  Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cream cheese will be a light, toasty golden color.
• 
  Step 9
  Cut into desired-sized squares and serve. Store brownies in an airtight container in the fridge. Remove brownies from the fridge about an hour before serving. Also, if you want to dress them up, drop your brownie squares in a cupcake paper.
